Chris Shelton kept up his torrid pace to start the season, going 3-for-4 with two triples and three RBIs. Shelton's efforts were more than enough for rookie Justin Verlander, who allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings, helping Detroit improve to 5-0 on the season.

Kevin Millwood had his second straight rough outing, allowing five runs -- four earned -- in six innings. Phil Nevin and Hank Blalock were the only Rangers to notch a hit off Tigers rookie Justin Verlander, and Texas only had five baserunners the entire game.
